“…It is grounds for classifying fog pollutant loading at the Szrenica Mt. as heavily polluted, like other locations representing middle-size mountains exposed to highly polluted air from heavy industry (CLARK et al, 1990;Schemenauer et al, 1995;ACKER et al, 1998;COLLETT et al, 2002;ZIMMERMANN and ZIMMERMANN, 2002;LANGE et al, 2003;Fišák et al, 2004;AIKAWA et al, 2005;Watanabe et al, 2006).…”

Atmospheric pollutants are transferred to the ground by the contribution of various types of hydrometeors. Because of the different techniques of measurement, comparative analyses between them are often neglected. Hence, the main goal is to compare water volume and chemistry of different types of hydrometeors and their role in both: water balance and pollutants deposition. The results of water input and atmospheric deposits chemistry at Szrenica Mt. during the period between 01 December 2008 and 28 February 2010 are presented. The volume-weighted total inorganic ionic content (TIC) of dew, hoarfrost and fog water (both solid and liquid) was 345, 134, 425 leq l -1 respectively, while typical TIC value for precipitation was 233 leq l -1 . The chemical composition of dew, hoarfrost and fog water differ significantly from each other and from precipitation, depending on background emission and atmospheric processes. Taking into account both concentration and volume of deposited water, comparison between pollutant load of hydrometeors was possible.

“…However, pollutant deposition via fog is comparable with precipitation. On well exposed ridges covered by coniferous forest, it could be expected that the role of pollutant deposition by fog may even dominate (BłAŚ and SOBIK, 2003;LANGE et al, 2003;ZIMMERMANN and ZIMMERMANN, 2002).…”

“…Fog has been recognised as a hazardous weather phenomenon worldwide; it can cause accidents and negatively affect urban air quality, especially in combination with the impact of air pollutants (Lange et al 2003;Singh and Dey 2012). The total economic loss associated with the impact of fog can be comparable to losses caused by tornadoes or, in some cases, winter storms and hurricanes (Niu et al 2010).…”

Fog has been recognised as a hazardous weather phenomenon that can cause accidents and affect urban air quality negatively. Therefore, assessing the characteristics of fog formation, as well as the changes in fog frequency and intensity as a result of climate change is of high importance. This study covers a 52-year period and contains an analysis of the frequency of fog occurring, long-term changes in fog frequency and atmospheric conditions that favour the occurrence of fog events in Latvia. During the analysis, two interannual maxima of fog frequency were identified in the spring and autumn; the seasonal differences in the formation of fog were also confirmed using satellite observations of low-level cloudiness. However, the long-term changes of fog frequency showed a decrease tendency of fog to form, which may be associated with improvements in air quality since industrialization and the observed increase of air temperature.

“…INTRODUCTION Fog is a hydrometeor consisting of a visible aggregate of minute water droplets or ice crystals, suspended in the atmosphere near the Earth's surface and reducing horizontal visibility below one kilometre [1]. Fog is a hazardous weather phenomenon worldwide, which can cause accidents and affect urban air quality, especially in combination with impacts of air pollutants [2,3]. Traffic obstacles such as flight delays, automobile and marine accidents due to poor visibility can be considered as the most common negative effects of fog [4,5].…”

-Fog is a hazardous weather phenomenon, which can impact traffic (especially air traffic) and air quality. The aim of this study is to analyse fog climatology, the trends of long-term changes of fog events and factors affecting them in general, in Latvia, but especially at Riga airport. For a 50-year period of observations, the analysis of fog frequencies, long-term changes and atmospheric conditions favourable for the occurrence of fog events in Latvia has been studied. During the analysis, two interannual maxima of fog frequency were found in spring and autumn, and the seasonal differences in the formation of fog were also approved by the satellite data on low cloud cover.
